all  fleshfolk share  this  kind  of sea 
 within them  that  soothes  the  ache of 
             the rocky shores             
                                          
         does it erode the stone?         
       this water can be poisoned.        
                                          
                                      
                                          
 a priority  is the  flow  of  the blood, 
 and the  oxygen level in  it. it's  also 
 nice to maintain a low viscosity  level, 
          perhaps by hydration.           
                                          
                                      
                                          
 red  as  night  and  warm  to the  touch
